What will be the team starting team on Sunday, will Brown & Cassidy start, will we play with a sweeper against a serious full forward, on the basis the last team we played with a serious ff Sligo, we were badly exposed?

I would start Declan Cassidy instead of M McGrogan for a real scoring threat along side Lorcan Mac in a 2 man FFL

Play Ben in the mid field area .... keep Brown and Mortimer as impacts subs ... depending on what the score is .... might need to them on earlier ... JP did well last day when introduced also Cormac Murphy (he's very quick) could be an option although I don't think he has had any game time .... BUT the key area has to be the effectiveness of our half back defensive zone to hopefully negate Clifford (and Kerry don't have any weak players) ..... It will be a big challenge but the preparation and our game-day management has been good. Lets hope are mentality on the day can deliver a big performance

Good crowd to see the minors off this morning which is very encouraging. If they can stick with Kerry to last quarter I fancy our chances as they have finished strongly in the last two games and the Dublin victory will have been a real boost to confidence. Kerry have not played as good a team as Derry this year and if we keep a high intensity from off, cracks might start to appear. Kerry's defence has conceded 9 goals in 5 games. Anyhow, fantastic to be part of the biggest sporting event in Ireland. Doire abú!

Looks like a more defensive approach to start, which might be wise tactically? Timing of impact subs will be crucial to outcome. Maybe trying to finish strong with what has been held in reserve? At least there are good options on the bench.

Eoghan Ruagh blew the Kilmacud Sevens apart. Thoroughly deserving winners. Sean Leo player of the tournament, with Conleth Gilligan stand out on the day also for Ballinderry who were well beaten by the winners in the Quarter final.
